Game design principles in the Case of the Golden Idol - Andrejs Klavins

I am joined by incredibly thoughtful Andrejs who with his brother Ernests (Color Gray Games) developed The Case of the Golden Idol, critically acclaimed, BAFTA nominated (finalist) point-and-click mystery game! We discuss the design of the Golden Idol, and more broadly design of the mystery games like Obra Dinn or Outer Wilds!
